Eats from the Inside

[Verse 1]
There is a weight in me
A cinder block that is slowly sinking
I lift, pull, and strain
To get around, and when I'm all alone
I draw the shades, kick the clock to the floor
And dream myself away

[Chorus]
From the top, from my window
It eats from the inside
I've built it up to let it go (Uh-huh)
It eats from the inside
It's hard to forget what I know
Eats away at my insides
Eats away at my insides

[Verse 2]
My hands feel like knots and stones
My tongue's tied sweetly in a bow
It's hot in here today
But in a little while
Maybe I'll peel back the sheets
Grab my bag, put together a few things
And like a memory, drift away

[Chorus]
From the top, from my window
It eats from the inside
I've built it up to let it go (Uh-huh)
It eats from the inside
It's hard to forget what I know
Eats away at my insides
Eats away at my insides
Eats away at my insides
Eats away at my insides
Eats away at my insides
